drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO

2015-06-23T13:50:35Z

This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where it has been well over a decade since I last updated it. And there is no value in anyone else taking over updating it either. However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text from one Kconfig file into the next. We are not doing end users any favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread. No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ethernet: tundra: drop owner assignment from platform_drivers

2014-10-20T14:21:13Z

A platform_driver does not need to set an owner, it will be populated by the driver core. Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang

drivers/net: delete non-required instances of include

2014-01-16T19:53:26Z

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives and hence don't need to include . Most are just a left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to code getting copied from one driver to the next. This covers everything under drivers/net except for wireless, which has been submitted separately. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethernet: Fix FSF address in file headers

2013-12-06T17:37:55Z

Several files refer to an old address for the Free Software Foundation in the file header comment. Resolve by replacing the address with the URL so that we do not have to keep updating the header comments anytime the address changes.

net: tsi108: use dev_get_platdata()

2013-08-30T21:43:38Z

Use the wrapper function for retrieving the platform data instead of accessing dev->platform_data directly. This is a cosmetic change to make the code simpler and enhance the readability. Signed-off-by: Jingoo Han Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers:net: Convert dma_alloc_coherent(...__GFP_ZERO) to dma_zalloc_coherent

2013-08-30T01:55:23Z

__GFP_ZERO is an uncommon flag and perhaps is better not used. static inline dma_zalloc_coherent exists so convert the uses of dma_alloc_coherent with __GFP_ZERO to the more common kernel style with zalloc. Remove memset from the static inline dma_zalloc_coherent and add just one use of __GFP_ZERO instead. Trivially reduces the size of the existing uses of dma_zalloc_coherent. Realign arguments as appropriate. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Acked-by: Neil Horman Acked-by: Jesse Brandeburg Acked-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ethernet: remove unnecessary platform_set_drvdata()

2013-05-28T05:34:51Z

The driver core clears the driver data to NULL after device_release or on probe failure, since commit 0998d0631001288a5974afc0b2a5f568bcdecb4d (device-core: Ensure drvdata = NULL when no driver is bound). Thus, it is not needed to manually clear the device driver data to NULL.

drivers:net: dma_alloc_coherent: use __GFP_ZERO instead of memset(, 0)

2013-03-17T16:50:24Z

Reduce the number of calls required to alloc a zeroed block of memory. Trivially reduces overall object size. Other changes around these removals o Neaten call argument alignment o Remove an unnecessary OOM message after dma_alloc_coherent failure o Remove unnecessary gfp_t stack variable Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers:net: Remove dma_alloc_coherent OOM messages

2013-03-15T12:56:58Z

I believe these error messages are already logged on allocation failure by warn_alloc_failed and so get a dump_stack on OOM. Remove the unnecessary additional error logging. Around these deletions: o Alignment neatening. o Remove unnecessary casts of dma_alloc_coherent. o Hoist assigns from ifs. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers/net/ethernet/tundra/tsi108_eth.c: delete double assignment

2012-08-30T17:08:37Z

Delete successive assignments to the same location. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ expression i; @@ *i = ...; i = ...; // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
